- I hope I'm wrong, but my memories of our now 5-years-departed VAX
- 11/750 is that there is a board (the CPU board --- there was more than
- one, as I recall) with sockets for four boot ROM's --- so you could boot
- from neat devices like the RM80, an RA81, the TU58 (yucch), and so on.
- Unless DEC retrofitted something (I really hope I'm wrong), there is no
- boot ROM for network boots.
- Please, somebody prove me wrong.
